SeaNet: No Pink Slip Required

Fractional Ownership: Sure, owning a yacht has its perks, but what if you could enjoy the luxury of a yacht without the headache of actually owning one? SeaNet Yachts makes that possible. When you have all the bells and whistles of a SeaNet Yacht, who needs a pink slip?

The fractional ownership program is divided into three categories - a 16-percent, 25-percent, or a 33-percent ownership position. A 16-percent ownership position provides you with nine days every other month, totaling 54 days a year. At 25 percent, you are entitled to seven days each month and 84 days a year. And at 33 percent, you are provided with nine days a month, or 108 days a year.

The fees cover your acquisition of ownership stake in the yacht and nearly all expenses including, slip fees, insurance, routine maintenance and cleaning. You can expect to pay out-of-pocket for transient dockage fees, fuel, and provisions while using the yacht. Your dues are deposited into an escrow account and after two and a half years, the vessel is sold and you will receive your share of the residual value.

Each yacht, 57 feet or longer, comes equipped with a full-or part-time captain, concierge, crew services, charter management, and Caribbean and Mediterranean usage. If you're looking to "lease" one of SeaNet's yachts, programs are available for new and pre-owned Sunseeker Yachts ranging from 35-to more than-100 feet in length. With combined performance and luxurious comforts, each vessel comes standard with plenty of open-deck space and innovative interior design. Yachts are designed with advanced power and drive systems, enabling you to enjoy high speeds while maintaining a wide cruising range.

SeaNet offers a wide range of vessels including, yachts, flybridge yachts, performance vessels, offshore cruisers and sportfishers. SeaNet's largest vessel, the Sunseeker Yacht, retains its distinctive design and features an unsurpassed quality, making it the grand daddy of them all. The Predator 75 delivers the latest in marine technology and has been dubbed one of the best performance vessels around. The Camargue 50, an offshore cruiser, boasts two engine options, direct shaft drives, and can maintain speeds up to 35 knots. And while the Sportfisher 37 is ideal for the avid fishermen with precision in speed and handling, it maintains a deep V-shaped hull, offering the best in a general-purpose utility boat.
